Welcome
Conductive Education Trust Waikato has worked with hundreds of families who have sought support, information and progress for their children, just like you. For over 30 years and through a range of programmes, our specialist staff motivate young children to be actively involved as they learn functional, daily-living skills toward creating the building blocks for richer, interactive, and more independent lives.
Relationships & Community
At the heart of our service, lies the trusting relationships we form with families, with the children we see, and with the team of professionals from our wider community. We recognise the importance of families coming together, sharing experiences and supporting others and that the ‘team’ working together each brings knowledge and skills to contribute.
Empowering Learning
Conductive Education embraces holistic development. Our services provide support and education that empowers the family as a whole. We create individual and group programmes offering opportunities to maximise every learning moment. We challenge tamariki using their own motivation to achieve goals in a way that opens doors to creating a better quality of life.
Collaborative Approach
Whilst we provide specialist services, including therapies and equipment, children accessing our service maintain access to medical clinics provided by the Child Development Centre (CDC). This means that with your consent, we can liaise with the staff at CDC to ensure that information is shared collaboratively enabling best outcomes for you and your child.
Our Team
Our Centre is staffed by a multidisciplinary team. Qualified Conductive Practitioners (specialist teachers of motor disordered children), Paediatric Occupational Therapist and Paediatric Physiotherapist, Speech & Language Therapist Early Intervention Teacher, Early Childhood Educators and supporting staff.
We provide individualised therapy, Group learning environments and community liaison. Each child and family have a Key Worker, supported by our multi-disciplinary team, who work collaboratively to identify the needs of the child and family to collate an individual learning plan.
